Quadratic generator

1 Test description

An RNA only template is used in Loads only  with the Quadratic generator . The rotor RPM is set by the user, the tests checks that the generator torque corresponds to that RPM. 

The following Load cases are tested:
  1. RPM 2
  2. RPM 10
  3. RPM 20
  4. K 05


2 Analytical solution

For the quadratic generator, the generator torque 
$$T_G$$
is proportional to the square of the generator RPM 
$$\omega_G$$
, such that 
$$T_G = K\cdot\omega_G^2$$
. The generator RPM is equal to the rotor RPM 
$$\omega_R$$
multiplied by the gearbox ratio 
$$G$$
. We therefore have 
$$T_G=K\cdot(G\cdot\omega_R)^2$$
The default gearbox ratio is 
$$G=97$$

The table below summarizes the input and expected output for each load case:
Load case Rotor RPM 
$$\omega_R\text{ }[RPM]$$
Proportionaility constant 
$$K\text{ }[ Nm\cdot \text{RPM}^{-2}]$$
 
Expected geext{nerator torque 
$$T_G\text{ [Nm]}$$
RPM 2 2 0.03128 1180
RPM 10 10 0.03128 29400
RPM 20 20 0.03128 117000
K 05 10 0.5 470000

3 Results

A simulation of 5 seconds is run. The test is considered passed if the results from Ashes are within 0.1% of the analytical solution.
